Anthony Weiner could face child pornography charges—and a minimum 15 years in prison, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The Hill reports the 51-year-old Weiner allegedly sent a 15-year-old girl shirtless photos of himself, descriptions of sexual acts he wanted to perform with her, and more. Now sources say federal prosecutors are mulling whether or not to bring child pornography charges against Weiner, with his lawyers—obviously—trying to convince them not to.

The most serious charge Weiner could face is production of child pornography for allegedly convincing the girl to send him sexually explicit photos. That charge comes with a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence. He could also be charged with receipt of child pornography (a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence) or possession of child pornography. Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal, the New York Daily News reports. Two years later, he was embroiled in another sexting scandal while running for mayor of New York City.

The more charges the better. And don't think Huma didn't know about his little hobby.

Throw this elite democrat in the same cell as that Subway Sandwich dude. Throw away the key.

None of us know anything about this charge. But what we do know is that when Weiner was in Congress he began to question the 9/11 official conspiracy; afterward, intel mined the net and found alleged photos or Weiner. He quit Congress. Then I found out Weiner's wife was Hillary's adviser and Hillary was part of the official conspiracy cover up as was embedded in NY State Senate position on 9/11. End's up with the job for Obama running around the world running State. NEXT, FBI makes some link worried about what Weiner's wife knew about what Hillary knew and raided Weiner's property and wife, if I recall, for computer stuff stating officially that it was about Hillary's 30,000 unsecured emails. the above is circumstantial evidence; these power guys are sweating something and that something is Trump, I suspect.
